Parents: 3DVinci in Your Home

Does
your kids' computer time boost their brain power?
Your kids want to have fun on
the computer, but you want them
to be productive and learn something at the same time. What can satisfy both you and your kids? Google SketchUp and
3DVinci.

Google SketchUp is a FREE, fun, and engaging 3D modeling
program that blends left-brain analytics with right-brain creativity. Design
professionals such as architects and engineers have been using it for years in
the
workplace. And recently, parents and teachers have discovered how much
kids love it, and how much kids learn when
they use it. While your kids are flexing their creative muscles building fun
and interesting 3D models on the computer, they're also
learning the geometry, spatial relations, and design principles used
by architects, engineers, and
artists.

While working independently on 3DVinci's
step-by-step projects, kids learn to visualize a new concept, and then use SketchUp's
intuitive toolset to produce their own designs. And unlike with video games and other
computer activities, SketchUp gets your kids generating
their own creations - a great way to boost self-esteem. (And
you'll probably want to start using SketchUp yourself!)

You invest a lot of time finding materials to educate
your kids. SketchUp is a wonferful tool for getting your kids to explore both their creative and analytical sides, and we provide engaging, motivational, and instructional materials to help them get the most out of SketchUp.

While working through our
fun design projects, your kids will acquire valuable academic and technological
skills. Our materials are great for independent self-learners, and provide
valuable, real-world career preparation. By making SketchUp easily understood and accessible for everyone, we have lightened your teaching workload: the steps, methods, and projects are already
written and illustrated. Once your kids open the books and get started, you'll be
amazed at what they create in a short time, and pleased with how much they've learned in the process.
